About this work

This painting shows two dark, rough shapes on a tan background. The shapes look like simple, blocky forms—maybe chairs or seats—drawn with quick, uneven lines. The paper itself has creases and looks worn, like it’s been handled a lot. The artist used oilstick, a soft waxy crayon, on plastic and paper. That’s why the lines feel scratchy and a little messy. It’s not polished or detailed—just raw marks. Next, check out Juan Muñoz to see how he played with simple shapes like this.
